This is very cute. Thanks.
By the way, do they have geisha geezers too? Just a thought.

All the best, Boonie

your haiku brought the memoirs of a geisha book and film - which have been among my most treasured book and watching experiences for some time now. the purposeful use of cultivated beauty . . . . the price. a lot to reflect on. steven

It is a beautiful Haiku, and it does remind the reader of the great cost of this kind of life for the woman who becomes part of the Geisha culture in girlhood. None of us will ever know really. Beautiful artwork.

Astrological Profile

So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
